Putco’s Blade Led Tailgate Light Bar

[zarc14]

For those considering a tailgate light…just had the Putco Blade Led Tailgate light bar installed when also getting an S&B CAI…love that the light bar is high power w/ brake reverse and turn signaling. Received a five year warranty on install…CAI is something i have been contemplating and finally pulled the trigger…after only one day only thing i can say for now is that pedal feel has changed some for the better…no noticable sound changes, will comment more as time goes by.

Direct fit w/amber turn signal

Awesome........do mind telling what you paid for the install? Wondering wether to order it directly from Putco and do it myself or just let 4WP do it.

Another tailgate light bar to consider is the OPT7 triple light at www.opt-7.com

That's especially for the $, you have one or have seen on the road?

I had the CAI and some other things done so where this was installed, they charged me 280 for light and 50 for install

That's pretty reasonable. I picked one up yesterday at 4WP for $272, but they wanted $141 to install. Think I'll try it myself this weekend.

Don't have one yet. Still waiting for my truck to arrive. But I liked what I saw in there videos.

So how is your light bar installed around these 2 bolts on the passenger side under the tailgate? The area for install looks perfect, other than these being in the way (pic for reference)…

The light bar itself is held by a few - spaced out U shaped brackets along/under the tailgate...in essence the bar sit offset by a few centimeters, brackets would skip the area highlighted

Thanks. Can you believe they have been backordered? It's crazy trying to do anything.

On a similar thread, I do remember someone commenting that in you can find the same product in O'Reily's Auto Parts Stores at a fraction of the cost....

Nice I see you did the roof light spoiler as well, looking good

That setup is sharp. What suspension wheel and tire set up you go with? Also those roof lights?
